Rashard was hot during our last road trip 6 or so at 20+, but Hedo had the flu.

Now that Hedo is back on, Shard's cooled off for the past few games.

I'm being an ass? I apparently just have a strange view of being a fan. I thought the purpose was to support your team.

Please continue with the sexy tennis's play-by-play :D

The glisten is glorious as Maria takes the 1st set. She's about to break Ivanovic into submission in this first game.

I think they were in the past 2 games.

Basically, if the Magic had started this game better, they at least would have had a shot to win. Same old thing.....slow starts means it's hard for them to win.

Plus, I think after Rashard beat the Pistons with the shot on Monday and Rip was the guy who he shot over, Detroit was determined to make sure that he didn't get hot tonight and that Rip got off. That's the way it is. They have been playing together a long time. They are very experienced and know how to make it happen. Even Prince said before the game that the Magic are a good team but they need more time playing together to become an elite team.

And we are supporting the team, but as Thief said, everyone has different views on how to support them, no need to criticize every point of view that doesn't agree with yours
I'm a Magic fan above anything else, I just don't agree with some of the decisions made. That doesn't mean I'm going to dish the players I don't like if they do things OK, I'm just pointing out that our fanbase (as crazy as it is) deserves more than what the Magic showed tonight

What a tease these girls are! I do not like tennis and don't watch it too often, but man, if every game was played by these two, I'd be delighted to watch it...
BTW, Sharapova's screams :o

I just think there are ways to criticize without going off on the so-and-so is worthless; so-and-so sucks; so-and-so needs to be traded; so-and-so is the worst (fill in the blank) in the NBA. I mean, if someone went off on you like that when you'd had a bad day at work, would you appreciate it or do anything other than hate the person who said it and not care what they think? I think it's too extreme, especially when a game or so before that these same guys are getting highly praised. Guys have bad games. Sometimes there are reasons for it. On a night like tonight, not many guys played well. It was a bad effort overall. These same Pistons lost to the Knicks. That doesn't mean they suck either.

The trade Dwight comment was clearly a joke. Why is this conversation still happening?

We lost, that sucks, too bad, move on to the Boston game.

Great match, Sharapova wins in straight sets as that 1st set was the decider.
Very enjoyable match.

I know man, but some people here have sarcastic comments, some people here just react too wildly, but personally I don't like Lewis's lack of heart (from the games I get to watch). The comment I did about how embarrased I felt after this loss wasn't focused to him, but to the team as a whole. They didn't only play awful, but there wasn't too much of an effort from their part...

About the TRADE DWIGHT sarcastic comment, well, I think you just overreacted, but as I said, we all react differently...

Its a loss.. It really should be no surprise to everyone that Detroit is better then us.. Sucks guys, but its true. Dosent mean we suck or that the world is coming to an end..

And to everyone pissed saying Howard didnt get the ball enough, or that he didnt get enough shots etc.. He was 7 for 11 PLUS getting fould 8 times (those are "shot attempts" if you will) so he got the ball plenty.. However he went 8-16 from the line.. 50 freaking percent from the line.. That is just terrible. If we are going to be critical of the play and the players.. We must be critical to all
There will be life after Dwight.

1. dwight's head was not in the game in the first half.
2. the team defense and offense paid dearly for that absence.
only 10 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists shy of yet another triple double - anonymous

Trade Dwight & Hedo.

They don't deserve to have incompetent losers as teammates.
